Evangenitals in Tampa, Florida TONIGHT!

I love this poster that the local bands we're playing with made. It's awesome!

Hopefully some of my old friends and family will make it out to the show tonight. It would be great to see everyone.

After the show, we're off to Satellite Beach High School, driving through the night, for a 9am presentation for The 1 Second Film. Creator/director of The 1 Second Film Nirvan Mullick actually went to high school there, so it should be cool for him to visit his old alma mater and share his story with the kids.

After that we've got a show in the park in Daytona, stopping by the Veterans nursing home for an acoustic set in the morning, then off to Savannah for our gig at the Guitar Bar. Exciting stuff all around!

The 1 Second Cabaret TONIGHT!

Bid The 1 Second Film crew FAREWELL with a night of songs, silliness and socks!

Bon Voyage, Evangenitals!

THIS IS IT! We are nearing the big day when the Evangenitals and The 1
Second Film crew departs for a full month on the Road to Oprah.
(http://www.roadtooprah.com)

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT at Molly Malones we will be playing our last show
in Los Angeles before our departure. It's the last chance to grab an
advanced copy our new album "Everlovin" and give us hugs, kisses, and
well-wishes to carry with us on the long, long 10,000 mile drive
across the US and Canada.

It would be great to see as many friendly faces as possible before
our departure (and to be perfectly honest... we could really use the
money!!)

The show is only $6. We play at 11pm, and we have a real special
guest playing with us.  Come-n-get-it!

The full lineup for the evening is:
9:00 Randy Sacks
10:00 Taylor Greenwood
11:00 The Evangenitals

Your presence would mean the world to us. 

Saturday September 29th
11pm
Molly Malones
575 S Fairfax Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90036

And if you ain't in LA, we hope to see you on the ROAD TO OPRAH!!!

p.s.
And if you can't make it, know that I love getting any response at
all to these notes just to know that they are reaching out and
touching you... hopefully in a way that you like. :-)

Much love,

The Tipping Point - A Call To Evangenital Action

Can you feel it?

The events of the next few weeks could determine the very course of
the life and career of The Evangenitals and those that love them. If
we play our proverbial cards right, we may find ourselves, in this
moment, teetering on the edge of the Tipping Point -- about to plunge
into the cool pool of the Next Big Thing.

It all, pretty much, depends on you. No pressure. ;-)

Here's the deal: In the coming weeks, we will be sending out some
"Calls to Action" -- simple things that you can do to help us spread
the good word about The Evangenitals and our new soon-to-be-released
album "Everlovin" -- that when done collectively could make a radical
impact on our place in the music world. Simple as that. It doesn't
matter if you live in Los Angeles or England, there are actions that
anyone, anywhere can take to help us make our dream a reality.

Here's 4 things to whet your whistle:

1. Send this show flier to anyone who might care:
http://www.evangenitals.com/images/hugeindie103flier.jpg

We're trying to spread the word to the whole wide world, even if they
can't make it to the show.

2. Request the Evangenitals on Indie 103.1:
http://www.indie1031.fm/requests/request.php

Indie 103.1 is a sponsor of the Universal CityWalk event, and it
would be cool to get some airplay before the big gig... or at least
let them know that we've got some friends and fans out there so when
we hand them the new album they will be all hot and bothered to spin
it. Barrage them with requests! No mercy!

3. Blog, bulletin, brag about The Evangenitals. Please tell your
friends, your family, your acquaintances and distant relatives about
The Evangenitals. If you have a website, please link to us. Add us
to your favorites on your online profiles and/or put us in your
Myspace "Top 8". Don't be ashamed to admit our hot, passionate love
affair to all who will listen. Spread the news!

4. Come to the Show!

http://www.evangenitals.com/calendar.html

On Saturday September 1st at 8pm we will be playing a FREE show for
what could be our biggest audience yet. It's Labor Day weekend at
Universal Citywalk and although you may think that we don't need the
extra bodies in the crowd, it would be really, really nice to have
some friendly faces, love, support, and folks that love the music to
dance, sing, and cheer us on. Heck, you can even take the Metro and
not pay for parking. :-)

Those 4 actions could start a snowball rolling that will take us all
the way to the big time! Let's do it.

More action coming your way soon....

Everlovin'

Sweaty Pits and Hot Pics

Drunken Sailor
Originally uploaded by juliocrockett

I just got home from the El Cid show and I've already uploaded the photos for your viewing pleasure!

It was a great, short, barn-burner set. I wore my long-sleeved cowboy shirt and paid the price by getting some sweaty pits from all my running about.

I figure it proves I was working hard. :-)

Thanks to those of you who came out to the show, played along, and for all the hooting and hollering.

If you missed it, this photo set (taken by Patrick Ian Moore) actually gives a pretty good idea of just what went on over there.

Hope to see you all next weekend at the Old Towne Pub. Until then, please enjoy, comment on, spread around all these Evangenitals pics that I've been obsessively uploading onto Flickr.

Love,
Juli & the Evangenitals

May the luck of the Irish enfold you (this Saturday night)

Top of the morning to you!

The last time we played Molly Maloneâ�™s, a bunch of you turned out to see a legendary set on amazing stage with great sound and successfully helped us to win our spot as â�œLords of Hollywoodâ� for a day. JT the booker was so pleased he has invited us back for another dose of Evangenital joy, this Saturday night!

Now, hereâ�™s the catch: we want to out-do the last appearance. So Iâ�™ve got a proposition for you: if we draw 50+ people to Molly Maloneâ�™s to see the Evangenitals practice their A-game for the upcoming Universal City gig and Road to Oprah tour I hereby declare that I, Juli Crockett, will have a star in the HEAVENS ABOVE named EVANGENITALS in your honor. Our own STAR, people! That will help when the earth shakes us off its back like a bad case of fleas. We can all go to our STAR!

Mark my words! And mark the time to our tunes with snapping fingers, bobbing heads, and dancing feet at our triumphant return to Molly Malones THIS SATURDAY NIGHT:

This Saturday, August 11th, at 11pm
Evangenitals @ Molly Malones
575 South Fairfax Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90036
$6

Full line up:
8:00 David Courtney, 9:00 Doschus, 10:00 Bruce Beacom
And the ones that truly love you: The Evangenitals (11PM)

And heck, hereâ�™s an Irish Blessing for the road, to guide your way to the Evangenitals at Molly Malones:

Walls for the wind,
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks beside the fire -
Laughter to cheer you
And those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire!

If you live far away and/or have some REALLY GOOD REASON why you wonâ�™t help us get a STAR for us all to immigrate to (should the need/desire arrive) you can help us in another wayâ�¦

By donating $1 or more to The 1 Second Film (http://www.the1secondfilm.com) you will be helping to finance our Road to Oprah tour, which commences on September 19th. We need all kinds of help, and we very well may be coming to a town near you, so please visit the Road to Oprah website and check out the tour route and other fun ways you can participate: http://www.roadtooprah.com

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light!

Loving you,
through it all,
The Evangenitals

The Hero's Journey

1. A call to adventure, which the hero has to accept or decline
2. A road of trials, regarding which the hero succeeds or fails
3. Achieving the goal or "boon," which often results in important self-knowledge
4. A return to the ordinary world, again as to which the hero can succeed or fail
5. Application of the boon, in which what the hero has gained can be used to improve the world

Let's do this!

Celebrities Join Thousands to Produce Biggest Shortest Film Ever

LOS ANGELES, CA â�“ Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, Pierce Brosnan, Christina Ricci, and Stephen Colbert are just a few of the dozens of celebrities that have joined over 7,500 people from 45 countries to produce a 70mm film that will last only one second.

The innovative non-profit collaboration, aptly titled â�œThe 1 Second Film,â� creatively utilizes the internet to enable anyone in the world to become a film producer along with major stars, simply by donating $1 or more via the filmâ�™s website: www.the1secondfilm.com

â�œA lot can happen in one-second,â� says Nirvan Mullick, an award-winning director turned social-entrepreneur, who started the film 7 years ago while a student at California Institute of the Arts. A single second of animation consists of 24 frames of film. In this case, each frame is a giant collaborative mural painted by hundreds of people.

Nirvan began fundraising after graduating, setting out to bring the world together for one second. With no budget and a simple Xeroxed flier he began pitching the film to anyone he met. His first celebrity pitch was to George Clooney, whom he ran into in a Burbank parking lot. â�œI was pretty nervous,â� Nirvan admits, â�œClooney passed, but later I got a dollar from a lady at the grocery store.â�

After that initial encounter, Nirvan continued to improve his marketing materials and his 1 Second pitch. Hundreds more donated and soon even randomly encountered celebrities started chipping in. Christina Ricci, met on a sidewalk, donated $5.50, Spike Jonze became a $12 producer at a movie theater, and Tom Arnold gave $100 outside of the Hollywood Guitar Center.

Nirvan made a website listing the celebrity and non-celebrity producers in order of amount donated. Word spread virally, and thousands around the world began donating online. Dozens of Christina Ricci fans have since given $5.51 to be listed above the star, while comedians Tom Green ($220.00) and Andy Dick ($211.11) are engaged in an escalating battle for top billing.

After raising over $160,000 of a $1,000,000 goal, the production recently launched itâ�™s own online social-network, giving its thousands of producers unique profiles. â�œImagine if everyone on MySpace was making a movie together,â� says Nirvan, â�œthatâ�™s the goal. Micro-collaboration.â�

â�œI love what these guys are doing, and the way they are doing it,â� says Kiefer Sutherland, one of the filmâ�™s top Executive Producers, who recently donated $600.23 at a restaurant.

With thousands of producers, from gas-station attendants to the director of Independence Day, the filmâ�™s end credits will last an astounding 90-minutes. A star studded â�œmaking ofâ� documentary will accompany the feature-length credits, detailing the (often absurd) adventures of bringing the world together for one-second. All profits raised by The 1 Second Film will be donated to charity.

A two second film is already in development (The 2 Second Film). For more information please visit www.the1secondfilm.com or email press@the1secondfilm.com.
